The page is centered around an article titled “BOSTON LETTER”, which appears to be a critical review of the Boston Independent Exhibition. The article discusses various artists and works shown, including a Picasso painting (referred to as “Mrs. Picasso of Commonwealth Avenue”), Margaret Sargent McKean, Roger Hayward, Luther Galian, J. J. Haffner, Roy Hilton, and particularly Alan Burroughs, who is noted for creating “a very interesting satire” titled The Critics.
Above the article is a black-and-white reproduction of Alan Burroughs’ painting entitled “The Critics.” The painting depicts three men in tuxedos and bow ties seated at a dinner table with wine glasses and a large bowl, all wearing large, round, comically oversized spectacles — a visual satire of art critics, likely mocking their pretentiousness or inability to truly “see” art. The painting is captioned: “THE CRITICS / Boston Independent Exhibition / ALAN BURROUGHS”.
The magazine page itself shows signs of age — yellowed paper, slight creases, and a handwritten notation in the upper right corner: “The Arts – February 1928.” The binding is visible on the left, with a dark, textured cover partly in view. At the very bottom of the page, there’s a partial strip of what appears to be a newspaper clipping or an additional clipping pasted onto the page, indicating this may be part of a scrapbook or curated collection.
Overall, the image captures a historically significant moment in early 20th-century American art criticism, documenting both the reception of avant-garde works in Boston and the satirical response of artists to their critics.
